Method

How to use this

  1. 1. Pick few, not many. A rulebook you can read in thirty seconds is a rulebook you will still be following in month three.
  2. 2. Cover risk first. Risk and position sizing rules decide how long you stay in the game. Entry rules only decide what you do while you are there.
  3. 3. Print it and keep it visible. A rule on a screen you have closed is not a rule.
  4. 4. Change one rule at a time. Review weekly, count the breaks, and only edit after a proper sample of trades.

These rules are educational process guidelines, not investment advice, and none of them is a signal to buy or sell anything. Trading in financial markets carries risk, including the loss of your capital.

Watch: why the rules decide it

The difference between a trader and a gambler is a written rule they still follow on a bad day. This is that argument in full.

Rules are easy to write. The hard part is following them.
